Winter Storm Benedict

Too much snow and stress (18" at this house). Thunder and lightning accompanied the snow last night! Crazy.
Amtrak cancelled their trains from NYC to Boston, causing my cameraman to be stranded down south, messing me up for my film shoot tomorrow. Bleh. This project has me stressed out.
Random pictures as a result. Enjoy!

how amazing is this headboard? No seriously, can I have it? 

a lovely collection.

How gorgeous is this dress? I imagine my wedding dress one day looking like this. It's simple with cascading elements, and of the most beautiful flowing fabric.  The top would have to be a little less everything-out-there, but all the movements of it are just so perfect.

Resolution Motivation... is it just by chance?

Someone once told me that if you tell your New Year's Resolutions that they are more likely to not come true. The logic behind this is if you tell the resolution to someone, you are already satisfying that part of you that does something with the desire to receive praise for it, and therefore have less to strive for in actually fulfilling the resolution. Does that make sense or did I just butcher it?  Anyway, I've already failed my new years resolution, but that doesn't mean i'm not going to keep at it eventually. Currently though, I have lost my motivation for it. Anyone have any advice for how to get motivation back?

2011 Non-Goal List

Taking the idea off of Erin, here is my non-goal list for 2011. Essentially it's the things I did in 2010 that i'm proud of, and should keep doing. I certainly know my list for wanted-accomplishments is much longer, but it's important to remember that not all things need remodeling in the new year.

2011 Non-Goal List

1. Learning to run was great for your health-especially mind-keep doing it!
2. Towards the end of the year you started to realize that not all fights are worth having; sometimes you just have to ask, "who really cares?" and whether or not it's your place to say it! It sure is difficult, but you're getting so much better!
3. Never stop experimenting with creative side-projects.
4. Texting while driving is never worth it!
5. You took the reins on your projects this year, from GR to OSFC, etc. You ARE capable of selling this work!
6. You are capable of donating your hair and not letting it overwhelm you - hoooray!
7. Don't worry, you'll move out eventually, but don't stain the time you have there by stressing over getting out.
8. Got rid of the negative people in your life, making room for only the positive! Look out 2011!

You are one strong individual!
